    Chicago wins bid to be US Olympic city

    I wonder where they'll hold the shooting events? Or are those Olympics going to be "gun-free"? I was hoping Daley wouldn't get his monument, but I'm sure much money changed hands in bribes to bring this about. As usual.

    exercises for handgun shooters?

    While on the range today, I realized my hands were shaking while my arms were at extension. That ain't right! So I figured I'm out of shape from not working physically for a while; doing more office type work / supervision. Can anyone recommend upper body exercises that would improve this? Or...

    Regaining all rights after serving time

    I have a hypothetical question for all of the legal professionals on the board. If a person is convicted of a felony, and serves his time and probation, he regains his right to vote. In this case a white-collar crime, not a violent or drug crime, after he regains the right to vote does he also...

    Buying guns while living out of home state

    I have a chance to take a long-term job out of state. While there can I buy a gun and then legally take it home at the end of the job? Or do I have to send it to a home state FFL to be legal? I live in the fascist state of ILL, and the job would be in a free state, Kentucky.

    Eastern Arms Co. revolver?

    A friend of mine has this old revolver, the above name is stamped on it and that's it. No caliber, no S/N, nothing else. It looks like a nickel or stainless finish. It's a break-top five shot revolver. I think the caliber is .38 but it's not .38 Special. The barrel looks like .358 or .359 when I...

    New Polytech M14S

    Well I finally got one, I've wanted an M1A / M14 type rifle for years. I worked out a mutually good trade and traded off my FrankenFAL straight up for a like new Polytech M14. Not a mark on it, and I know it shoots well since I shot it last year. There aren't many of these floating around...

    Chicago mayor on TV spouting off

    His usual nonsense, "Should a husband and wife be allowed to buy more than two guns a month?" Allowed he said. Nice. Oh, and of course those nasty 'assault' weapons shouldn't be 'allowed' to be sold here in the PRI. Allowed again, he seems fixated on allowing us something that we're...

    T/C Hawken?

    I'm eyeing up a T/C Hawken in .45 caliber. It's a cap lock from what I understand. Anyone have any dealings with one of these? It's in VG shape, the shop is asking $150 for it. Beautiful brass all over, looks like a nice gun.

    .30-06 on a Dillon press?

    As the subject asks, are any of you using your Dillons to load .30-06? I haven't been so far, but I'm considering it. I'm thinking about buying the conversion kit for this caliber and giving it a whirl. So far I've only done handgun calibers on my 550, but I'm in an experimental mood. I just...

    Brass trimming question

    I just bought a .30-06 rifle, first time for me with this caliber. Most of my reloading experience is with handgun ammo on a Dillon 550, with some rifle on an RCBS single stage. My question is this: in a bolt action rifle, is it necessary to trim after every firing? Or as I've heard does the...

    'Net source for Remington serials?

    Does anyone know of a source for determining how old your Remington is by the serial number? I know they're out there for Garands, and others. Ruger has a setup on their site but I didn't see one on Remington Country. I just bought a 700BDL used and was curious how old it was. The serial is...

    Lee deluxe die set?

    Anybody out there using these dies? I just picked up a .30-06 rifle and need dies. I saw Lee's Deluxe die set that has both full length resize and neck-size dies in it. Most of my other dies are RCBS, along with one Dillon set. I use the Lee factory crimp dies on handguns and they work...

    Illinois gun sales rise sharply

    Lately I've visited 5 or six dealers, and while not exactly scientific I hear that sales are up in these last moments before our new commissar, er, governor gets sworn in on Monday. One shop I was at today said sales were up in November 50 percent over a normal November, and December was up...

    How to import personal gun into US?

    I have a cousin who lives in Hong Kong and since it went back to mainland China it will now be difficult and expensive to own a handgun. The question is, what kind of hoops does he have to go through to legally bring this gun into the US? Is it possible at all? It's not an 'assault' rifle...

    Pump action AK

    In the latest issue of Shotgun News, right on the front page is a Romanian pump action AK. "California Legal" the ad proclaims. And it has an evil pistol grip!

    Fred's columns in Shotgun News

    Anybody else read them? What do you think about his columns? I like his stuff calling the RKBA fight the 'soft war' before the hard war. I'm curious about other's take on his columns.
